Elizabeth Murray: Paintings and Drawings

Published to coincide with Murray's first major traveling exhibition opening in Dallas in 1987, Elizabeth Murray reproduces every painting and drawing in the exhibition, focusing on her recent work. Her strong, brilliantly colored paintings have enjoyed much critical acclaim; Kay Larson of New York magazine describes Murray as "one of the finest American painters--even one of the top two or three--to emerge out of the wreckage and confusion of the seventies." Included here, along with 54 vibrant color reproductions, is the first major interview with the artist, and an incisive essay by critic Roberta Smith.
